In Zimbabwe, the public sector human capital drives the economy as over half of the population access their services through public enterprises. Government is the major agent in economic and infrastructure development as well as the production of goods and services.

It provides in-depth knowledge and guidance in effective human capital management within the context of the public sector in Zimbabwe.
